FIVE Generations

Great great Grandma Mae, Great Grandma Glee, Grandpa Charlie, ME, Samuel & Lily

It is a rare thing, for four generations or more to be alive at once.  Very few people now-a-days, live to be great grandparents, let alone great great grandparents.  My children are some of the few who have a great great grandparent- amazing right?!

    1. Awesome!! I do hope that you will find another time to get a photo with her and Ruth. :) I love it when I find other people who have great grandparents as well. So cool.
